Best 6 Chicory And Brussels Sprout Leaf Salad With Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUT-LEAF SALAD

Steps:

• Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Salad: Using a small paring knife, remove the outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Reserve the cores for another use. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprout leaves and cook for 1 minute. Drain and put in a bowl of iced water, then transfer to a colander to drain. Put the Brussels sprout leaves, arugula, endive, and almonds into a large salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss together. Sprinkle with the cheese and serve.

CHICORY SALAD WITH BLUEBERRIES, HAZELNUTS, AND AGED MANCHEGO

Steps:

• To prepare the dressing:
• In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously to mix well.
• Put the chicory in a large salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss gently with your hands to coat the leaves. Top with hazelnuts, blueberries, and cheese. Serve immediately.

CHICORIES WITH PEARS, BLUE CHEESE AND SECRET ANCHOVY DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Use a sharp knife to shave off the dark green tips of the frisée and escarole, then use your hands to tear off any remaining tough outer leaves, saving only the pale green and white, tender hearts for the salad. (Reserve the outer leaves for cooking greens - they'd be great for Thanksgiving stuffing!) Trim the radicchio, tearing off any bruised leaves and cutting off any root or stem.
• Once trimmed, separate all of the chicories into individual leaves, trimming more as needed to detach inner leaves. Leave the smaller leaves of all of the varieties whole, but tear or cut the larger leaves into generous bite-size pieces. Wash in cold water and dry in a salad spinner, then place in a very large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Spread pecans out in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast 7 to 10 minutes until lightly golden in the center. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• To make the dressing, use a pestle to pound the anchovy and garlic in a mortar with a pinch of salt until the mixture is as smooth as toothpaste (or chop finely, then use the blade of a knife to smear across the cutting board until smooth). Whisk in mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few cracks of pepper and shallot until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning: The dressing should be pleasantly bright and tangy, and the anchovy shouldn't be at all noticeable.
• To serve, quarter the pear, remove the core from each piece, and thinly slice. Add to the bowl of chicories. Crumble the pecans into the bowl in large pieces. Drizzle most of the dressing over the salad. Use your hands to toss gently to ensure the leaves are all coated evenly. Taste and add more dressing as needed. Transfer salad to a serving platter if desired, then crumble pecan-size pieces of cheese all throughout the salad, tossing as needed to distribute. Season generously with pepper and a bit of flaky salt. Serve immediately.

CHEESY BRUSSELS SPROUTS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat broth to boiling over high heat. Add Brussels sprouts; heat liquid back to boiling. Cook 2 minutes. Use slotted spoon to transfer sprouts to baking dish. Reserve 1 1/2 cups broth.
• In 2-quart saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly with whisk. Stir in reserved 1 1/2 cups broth and the whipping cream; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat; add Swiss cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
• Pour sauce over Brussels sprouts.
• In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir to coat. Sprinkle mixture over sauce. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until top is lightly browned and edges are bubbly.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH LEMON-THYME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Cook Brussels sprouts in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Transfer to medium bowl. Combine lemon juice and mustard in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Add thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover Brussels sprouts and dressing separately and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
• Combine endive and radicchio on platter or in large shallow bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat lightly. Mix Brussels sprouts with remaining dressing. Mound atop salad and serve.

LEMONY BRUSSELS SPROUT SLAW

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and zest in a small bowl. Add the oil a little at a time, whisking all the while.
• Combine the brussels sprouts, apple and shallot and toss with the dressing. Sprinkle with salt and plenty of black pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve. (It's best to let the slaw rest for an hour or so to allow the flavors to mellow; the sprouts will also soften a bit and exude some juice. You can let it sit longer, for up to 24 hours, if you like. Drain the slaw before continuing.) Just before serving, toss with the mint.
